Years Of The 18th Century In Ireland
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

James Arbuckle
James Arbuckle (1700 – 1742?) was an Irish poet and critic, associated politically with Presbyterianism and Whiggism. His birthplace was possibly Belfast, but he was the son of a Presbyterian minister in Dublin, and educated at Glasgow University, where his studies were disrupted by his struggles against Calvinist authorities (concerning the right of students to cast votes for the university's rectorship). He espoused the philosophy of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury. His first published work was ''Snuff'' (1717), a mock-epic, which won praise from Allan Ramsay. It was followed by ''Glotta, or, the Clyde'' (1721), a tribute to Scottish life and scenery in which the most ordinary topics (such as golf and swimming) are depicted in high-flown language. His style was similar to that of Alexander Pope, who he was clearly an admirer of.Stewart p.81 In 1723, Arbuckle returned to Dublin, where, under the patronage of Robert Molesworth, he edited the ''Weekly Journa ...

Fishamble Street
Fishamble Street (; ) is a street in Dublin, Ireland within the old city walls. Location The street joins Wood Quay at the Fish Slip near Fyan's Castle. It originally ran from Castle Street to Essex Quay until the creation of Lord Edward Street in 1886. History It is mentioned in the 14th century as ''Vicus Piscariorum'', ''Viscus Piscariæ'', and as Fish Street. In 1577, Stanihurst named it St John's Street. In the fifteenth century, it was referred to as "the Fishamyls". John Estrete, the eminent judge and statesman, owned a house here in 1483. In 1610, some editions of Speed's map call it Fish Shambles. During the 1950s it was for a time officially considered part of Moore Street, though in practice it retained its separate identity. The street was known as the official fish market for Dublin until the end of the 17th century when the city markets were moved to the north bank of the Liffey. (''"Shambles"'' were meat markets and open-air slaughterhouse districts, and t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
